First Fate

Waves of Fate, Book 1

De: Kendall Talbot

Narrado por: Piper Goodeve, Gabriel Vaughan

Prepare for a cruise like no other.

When an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) strikes Rose of the Sea, the pleasure cruise becomes a drifting nightmare. Powerless and desperate, the 1,100 passengers and crew must face their new reality: No one is coming to save them.

The first mate. The EMP destroys the captain's pacemaker, killing him in a heartbeat and Gunner McCrae is thrust into the top position. But no amount of training could prepare him for the savagery of desperate humans and an unforgiving ocean.

The anchor-woman. Gabrielle Kinsella should be reporting on the headline of the century. Instead she's fighting for her children's lives.

The acrobat. Held captive by a predator as a child, Madeline Jewel found freedom as the ship's acrobatic dancer. But being trapped in an elevator brings her worst fears back to life.

The gambler. Zon Woodrow won his ticket to the cruise in a poker match. With the ship's security system obliterated, Zon turns his attention to the casino's vault. And this time, the house won't win.

As resources dwindle aboard Rose of the Sea, the body count continues to rise. Will ordinary people survive an extraordinary disaster? Or will they drown in darkness?

Ok story

While I liked the premise of the book, there was no point or need for the level of cussing in the book. It wasn’t even just one character but pretty much them all. I’m not sure if I will continue the series. The readers did a great job at voices.

First of a trilogy

Interesting twist on an EMP survival story. I look forward to hearing how the trilogy ends.

Different view of SHTF

Good book. There is a lot of swearing as others pointed out, but it's mostly from one rough character. While his personality maybe could have been conveyed without it, to be fair it does provide a realistic portrayal of that type of person. There's also some graphic descriptions of injuries/deaths, but they're also realistic, not like the author is reveling in them like some action books. There's not a lot of useful survival type info in this book, but it is an excellent story with a different view of SHTF which is a nice change. Good dialogue and relatable characters. Going on to Book 2.

Gage

Fairly enjoyable, it approach the apocalypse from a different angle ship getting hit by a out-of-control airplane. It was entertaining.

just preposterous

I really liked thos one for some reason, it is so unrealistic but somehow the author pulled it off it was definitely worth a listen
